The rapper's monologue went over well with the National Rifle Association, who agreed with West on the source of the violence of Chicago.

"#Kanye couldn’t have said it better," the lobbying group said in a tweet featuring a GIF with the headline, "We agree, Ye." The post continued, "Illegal guns are the problem, and we have the right to bear arms. The #NRA’s nearly six million members are glad to see a celebrity who gets it, and who is willing to stand with the #2A."

"Love him or hate him, Kanye gets it," online firearm accessory seller @assaultlifellc tweeted. "You don’t punish the law abiding citizens because some dirtbag did something wrong with a gun.

Fellow comedian Sinbad said West's White House visit did "a pretty good job of telling us who he is." Tweeting two Photoshopped images of West and Trump channeling Kid 'N Play and Kevin Hart and Will Ferrell in the 2015 film "Get Hard," Sinbad questioned "where the Kardashian's (sic) stand."

If this is where Kanye wants to be, then let him be there. Quit trying to explain Kanye to us. He’s doing a pretty good job of telling us who he is and where he wants to be. Hmmmm is this where the Kardashian’s stand also. Their time time might be up also. Just saying !!! pic.twitter.com/qWXbEn1jIh

Maybe the plan was for a brief photo-op with rapper Kanye West and former NFL great Jim Brown to meet with President Donald Trump, before a lunch to talk about policies concerning blacks in America, but Kanye has an audience so...

"So there’s theories that there’s infinite amounts of universe and there’s alternate universe. So it’s very important for me to get (prisoner Larry) Hoover out, because in an alternate universe, I am him." MICHAEL REYNOLDS/EPA-EFE

"I think the way the universe works, it’s perfect. We don’t have 13 floors, do we? You know, so the four ... gentlemen that wrote the 13th Amendment didn’t look like the people they were amending. Also at that point, it was illegal for blacks to read – or African Americans to read. And so that meant if you actually read the Amendment, you would get locked up and turned into a slave."

ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith was too depressed by the spectacle to issue his own rant: "Watching @CNN, seeing Kanye at the White House this afternoon was some of the saddest stuff I’ve seen in quite some time. Not gonna go OFF, though. I’m just sad. I’ll leave it to y’all to state the obvious as to why."

Watching @CNN, seeing Kanye at the White House this afternoon was some of the saddest stuff I’ve seen in quite sometime. Not gonna go OFF, though. I’m just sad. I’ll leave it to y’all to state the obvious as to why.

CNN media reporter Brian Stelter decided colleague S.E. Cupp summed up the situation most accurately: "That was really sad. I think you had there a man who's clearly not okay, and a president who's...willing to exploit that."

Sad. @SECupp said it best about the Kanye-Trump meeting: "That was really sad. I think you had there a man who's clearly not okay, and a president who's willing to who's willing to exploit that." pic.twitter.com/JuadQFMxkH

Journalist Garrett M. Graff took the press to task for participating at all. "Dear media: You know you could have just *not* covered the Kanye meeting, right?" he wrote. "A tree falling in a forest, etc., etc."

"Dumb handwringing over Trump having Kanye in the Oval Office after years of slobbering over the celebs that had meetings with Obama is the exact stuff that makes everyone hate the press and like Trump more," @bccover pointed out.

I mean dumb handwringing over Trump having Kanye in the Oval Office after years of slobbering over the celebs that had meetings with Obama is the exact stuff that makes everyone hate the press and like trump more.

"I wouldn't care about Kanye West's public love and admiration for President Trump except for the fact that Trump is going to take Kanye's words as speaking for 'all of the Blacks' and that can't be allowed," political strategist Jasmyne Cannick tweeted. "Kanye West doesn't represent me, what I think or how I feel."

Iyanla Vanzant, the star of the OWN reality show "Iyanla, Fix My Life," was very clear: "I want to officially go on the record to say KANYE WEST does NOT SPEAK FOR ME or my son or my 4 grandsons or my great grandson or my father who was refused VA benefits or grandmother who cleaned houses and scrubbed toilets. I pray he does not get choked on his Superman cape."

In honor of World Mental Health Day yesterday & today progressives-turned-doctors mocked Kanye for meeting with Trump to talk criminal justice reform and more. Way to raise awareness by stigmatizing mental health over politics. Apparently only crazy people want common ground.

Before Yeezy, there was 'Louis Vuitton Don.' Yes, that's what he called himself.

Kanye's music was so hot, he needed shades to shield himself from all that fire. 'Stronger' was born from Kanye's collaboration with Daft Punk during a time when he experimented with electronic beats, not to mention those iconic shutter shades. Kevin Winter, Getty Images

After losing his mom and spitting with fiancee Alexis Phifer, Kanye poured his heart out in melodic rap style. With Auto-Tuned rhymes, he bared his soul in chart-topping songs like 'Heartless' and 'Love Lockdown.' Kevin Winter, Getty Images

We'll never forget that time he stole the mic from T-swift during the 2009 VMAs. Haters will hate, but after the release of 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy' in 2010, Kanye's message was pretty clear: He is not afraid to steal the spotlight – and voice his opinions, too. Jason DeCrow, AP

2016 was a tumultuous year for the rapper. It started out on a high note with the release of a much-anticipated new album, 'The Life of Pablo,' and a new fashion collection, both of which debuted in February. Jeff Kravitz/MTV1415, FilmMagic

Days later, he went on a rant about Beyonce and Jay-Z. Seeming to realize that his fans weren't taking to his words, West added, "I been sent here to give y'all my truth, even at the risk of my own life, my own success, my own career." Scott Dudelson

With no Yeezy Season 6 in September, it wasn't until fall and the NBA season that West was back in front of cameras, this time watching a game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Memphis Grizzlies on Nov. 5. Mark J. Terrill, AP

In September, Kanye announced he was moving back to Chicago, where he and son Saint threw out ceremonial first pitches at the Cubs versus White Sox game on Sept. 23.
